In washing type plate and frame filter press, the ratio of washing rate to the final filtrate rate is__________________?

Correct answer: B. 1/4

  • A. 4
  • B. 1/4
  • C. 1
  • D. 1/2

Explanation

In a plate-and-frame press, washing is slower because the wash liquid passes through the deposited cake under less favorable flow conditions, giving a wash rate about one-fourth of the final filtrate rate. Hence the ratio is 1/4.
